SDN loves to help high-quality organisations tell their apprenticeship story successfully.

SDN offers a RoATP Application Service to training providers and employers that want expert, thorough guidance on their RoATP application before submitting to the ESFA.

Whether you’re a current provider who has been invited to apply, or an organisation looking to get on the RoATP register for the first time – the SDN team, lead by former ESFA senior managers, can critique your application or provide a more bespoke service.

We get to understand how you deliver, before helping you tell your apprenticeship story in the right light.

We get to know you and your business

Identify any gaps or areas for development or improvement

Support you to draft your application

Support the development or review of your policies and procedures

Step you through the application process in a structured and supportive way

We don’t believe in standardised templates for applications – we offer a bespoke service.

Providers who want to get ahead of the game, ready to apply to the Register

“SDN’s RoATP application service has been incredibly beneficial to us as an organisation. Karen is hugely knowledgeable and always at the end of a phone or email should we need support. We are new to apprenticeships, so having Karen’s help to navigate us through the process has been wonderful.”Alastair Bateman, COO, Resurgo Trust
